Type of data extracted and used for data presentation and synthesis
| Type of data extracted | |
|---|---|
| Identification number of the comparison | Total N (total number of subjects of the comparison) |
| Bibliography | Section in opinion |
| Inclusion (or not) in main analysis | Outcome (e.g. overweight, blood pressure) |
| Study design | Endpoint (e.g. attained BMI, WAZ) |
| Study name | Allergy to (e.g. egg, fish, peanut), if relevant |
| Country (abbreviation) | Food (e.g. CFs in general, egg, fish, gluten) |
| At‐risk group (yes/no) | Specific food (e.g. egg yolk if ‘food’ is egg) |
| Characteristics of the population (e.g. children with heredity of T1DM) | Age at outcome assessment |
| Specific study group (e.g. breastfed, preterm) | Point estimate |
| E1 (age of introduction of CFs when used as categorical variable, group 1) | Lower bound of the confidence interval (as reported in the paper or calculated by EFSA) |
| E2 (age of introduction of CFs when used as categorical variable, group 2) | Upper bound of the confidence interval (as reported in the paper or calculated by EFSA) |
| Age of introduction of CFs as a continuous variable (yes/no) | Unit/Type (e.g. OR) |
| N1 (number of subjects, group 1) | Adjusted (yes/no) |
| N2 (number of subjects, group 2) | Statistical significance (significant/not significant) |
BMI: body mass index; CF: complementary food; OR: odds ratio; T1DM: type 1 diabetes mellitus; WAZ: weight‐for‐age z‐score.
